Episode 13 - Apex is back! In [redacted] form
Most of the gang are back for a full review of Rebellion Without Rehearsal in which we absolutely don't start to run out of energy in the back half and get distracted trying to work out what's going on in the Window Of Opportunity art
Episode 12 - I see you've played rezzy de-rezzy before (Rebellion Without Rehearsal HB Scoops!)
We're back once again, and NSG were kind enough to give us four whole scoops for everyone's favourite corp faction to take 7 click turns with, Haas-Bioroid!
Note - at time of recording we had seen Thunderbolt Armaments and Lightning Lab but not Brasilia Grid, as such if we are glaringly wrong about anything it's absolutely because of that and not because we don't know what we're talking about
Hot scoops here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vdDw5d07PRnORf04dCv4EDZR0kAzEAqKRPRS7EzeERM/edit
Episode x-2 (11) - Do you want anything from the big Oppo?
In which the gang briefly talk UK nationals and our illustrious host's successes, before ditching all that to do a highly festive, 10th*** episode quiz
***none of us know how long we've been going
Episode 10 - Happy fun overseer matrix surprise
We're back, to talk John's new crippling Warhammer addition, what Nottingham is hiding in all of those caves, and to briefly catch up on the Dice Cup CO and how the first couple of continentals have gone
Episode 9 - Hello, it looks like you're trying to build a deck without clippy
The ever expanding gang get together to talk about the mysteries of the Industrial subtype, those monkeys on the Pivot art, and occasionally the Automata Initiative
Episode 8 - Gaslight, Gatekeep, Gank
In which we discuss UK nationals this year and why we didn't release a testing episode in advance, the various delights of Sheffield, and we look at some sweet new NBN scoops!
We'll be back in the coming weeks for a more thorough review of Parhelion once all the cards are out and where we think the meta stands going forward.

Scoop discussion begins at 24:13
Episode 7 - The Mothman Prophecies
It's been... a long time, but we're back and there are a whole load of new cards to talk about! Come and find out the most questionable out of faction place to play Moon Pool, the most powerful id to play Twinning in that none of us want to play, and what professionally boring corp deck we'd all play at a CO next weekend until someone more interesting comes up with something fun
Episode 6 - Pad Dash: Deep Space
We're back again, this time with a discussion of Nisei's hotly anticipated world's banlist update. This one is quite heavy on the theory based analysis and low on the actual conclusions but hopefully, once the dust has settled a bit, we'll be able to bring some more helpful conclusions and lists we're looking at on the blog
Episode 5: Continental Drift
In which we discuss continentals, inters, the meta going into worlds and when we hope the banlist is going to be announced - this was totally recorded before NISEI announced when that would actually happen, promise
Episode 4 - What is clot anyway?
We're back, and on this episode Mike, John, Chris and an additional bonus Chris discuss: the latest banlist update from Nisei, our approach to the upcoming fite nite event and the lists we're playing and the highly varied, different and shocking runner decks all of the other teams are taking to that event - as well as demonstrating that we really, definitely know what is in our own, carefully refined decks. The lists in question can all be seen here
Episode 3 - Truzt the Procezz
On this episode Chris, John and Mike are back with a look at the Chatteris and Stevenage store championships and some of the twists and turns in the meta that have come up as the Gateway meta has shaken out, as well as some thoughts on the latest banlist update from Nisei.
Episode 2 - Rotation and Update and Gateway Oh My
So a whole lot's happened, after a bit of a break post worlds and a long gap since we've had some new cards there's suddenly a ton to talk about. System Update and System Gateway have both been released and the third major rotation of cards has happened, taking out the SanSan Cycle and Honor and Profit.
On this episode Chris, Mike and John talk through what the major changes to the meta mean for each faction and our very first thoughts on what we'll be looking at this week, prior to the Chatteris and Stevenage store championships in the next couple of weeks.
Please note that for scheduling reasons we recorded this on the evening of Saturday the 27th, after the runner and corp economy articles had been released but before the full spoiler gave us the last handful of cards. None of those really changed anything in our analysis although a couple of them are pretty playable cards (particularly Weyland Restructure and Ansel 1.0) but at the time we didn't know what they did.
Also, the decks we mention towards the end are very much our first assumptions about the places to be looking as we start testing. Things are churning very quickly as people process the cards and even in the last couple of days we've shifted a bit. Asa is stepping right back to the front of the pack with Anoetic Void once we all stopped trying to fit Lakshmi into it and accept that it's changed a bit, and Neurospike Weyland decks are looking like a tier 1.5 rogue outsider that can't really be ignored. Crim, as ever, remains the fun police.
Episode 1 - Fanboy 3 SC Debrief
In our first proper episode we discuss the just finished Fanboy 3 store championship, the results for which are linked below on AlwaysBeRunning and Cobra. With some actual data and proper competitive games in the meta, how do we feel about the Palana and Hayley lists we played last time, what will we be testing for the next few weeks and is the meta looking fun?

Episode 0 - Salvaged Memories
In this first test episode binarydogs, MikeP and nemamiah discuss the all-stars returning to the meta with Salvaged Memories, our first impressions of the upcoming meta and what decks we will play next weekend. See the accompanying post on the website for more details on those lists.
